GladiatorFanKyle Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Quite a few parks have had or do have an upcharge attraction for example at six flags many years ago they had a Zamperla Turbo Force and a Slingshot at the park and many of them still have a slingshot that you pay to ride. Do you think an upcharge attraction should be installed at thorpe park or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Noooo I mean a proper ride not a wave machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 It is an upcharge attraction. I hate to see something which resembles a traditional ride as pay per use inside a theme park, something like a bungee shot (or waverider!) is fine though - no one looking at it would ever reasonably expect it to be included for everyone.

paige Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Adventure Island charges for the dodgems and go karts. I think the dodgems are like £5 now! When I was younger, I remember them only being about £2! I think that more conventional paid attractions, like slingshots, waveriders and even go karts are fair enough. But Thorpe Park is a theme park(surprise!), and I think having too many 'proper rides' as an upcharge attraction could potentially spark comparisons to a fun fair. Also, just because you don't class a waverider as a 'proper ride', doesn't make it a mere slideshow, it is infact an attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Installing an upcharge ride just wouldn't happen. There would be uproar and given the pricing structure, the uproar would be justifiable in my eyes. Installing an upcharge attraction, like a Waverider, or perhaps even a show/maze, could well happen (since it has!). Can't see too many though; the odd couple at most.

Saying that you'd be amazed at just how many people come up to Dodgems asking 'how much?' then being surprised the answer is nothing. Still shouldn't happen though for the obvious reasons.
